Efforts to create decentralized, blockchain-based travel booking platforms have been in development for several years but now two new systems are debuting – one for hotels and the other for short-term rentals.
The creation of these new direct-to-consumer channels, for hotels by Winding Tree and rentals by Dtravel, marks a new stage in the evolution of blockchain for travel distribution – and evidence that what may have initially been viewed as a fad is now gaining much broader acceptance and adoption.
And while these two new offerings are launching with different strategies, both are focused on putting more control and more revenue into the hands of hoteliers and rental hosts.
